In the summer sun of 1962
The prettiest eyes were closing
From every picture that I ever knew
It never looked like you were posingNorma, smile for the cameraI wasn't around to ever understand
Just how fast this world was turning
Was that you crying in the California sand?
The fuse was lit and time was burningNorma, smile for the cameraSo many years have gone by
And your commodity sales are doing fine
Norma, smile for the camera
